THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen” ― Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.

“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex world where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Where does this rich asshole get the idea that we need to change the Constitution so we can be safer? The FBI knew about the older of the 2 mad bombers*. He was even investigated for domestic violence. Yet according to Bloomberg, We need to give up our Constitutional rights.

We can't all have taxpayer funded security following us around 24 hours a day. The police, no matter the good job they try to do to prevent crime, are not obligated to protect anyone. The SCOTUS has made that point several times (Warren v. DC, Gonzales v. Castle Rock are two examples). The people responsible for your safety is YOU. The police are reactionary, they aren't going to be standing there at 2 in the morning when some thug is kicking your door in. Calling 911 is fine, get them on the phone and keep the line open. But if that thug does get in, what are you prepared to do. Between the first noise and the arrival of the PD, you need to be prepared to repel boarders.

I don't understand the mindset of these "elite" assholes that think taking away the rights of the people is going to do anything. Are they really that obsessed with power? Hell, he has his own island, he can go there and be King. He can also leave me the hell alone.
